What Li Sheng was talking about was nothing else. It was the auction in the evening, and there would be some special products.
Before this day, Li Sheng...
Men and horses have already been sent to search for wood in places where there is top quality wood.
Transporting wood is indeed a big project.
After all, the weight is there, and it cannot be too easy to use as a building material.
In ancient times, transporting such heavy things was naturally a big problem.
But then again, at the end of the day it's just stuff used to make masts.
There is a major difference in being used to make masts rather than entire ships.
The hull can be built with wooden planks - for a large ship, it can only be built with wooden planks, and it cannot be in the form of a canoe.
But the mast thing is different.
Unlike the planks of the hull, the mast cannot have any ambiguity and must be perfect.
On the sea, this mast is like a camel on the grassland. Without it, it will be finished.
in other words.
As the core component of ancient wooden sailing ships, this thing is as important as the aircraft engines of later generations. The two are almost the same.
And the giant hardwood used as its raw material...
It can be imagined that at the level of the circulation market, it is actually a rare auction item.
Things like famous calligraphy and painting, ancient jade, and the like.
It doesn’t require a lot of quantity to have huge value.
And recently, the people sent by Li Sheng really brought back such a batch of giant trees.
The number is neither large nor large, only about a hundred roots in total.
But even these one hundred or so can be considered a rare quantity, but compared to the transport capacity of ox carts and horse carriages - although it is still not small, it is not that difficult to handle.
Therefore, this first batch of wood was shipped to Jiangdong and Hangzhou not long after.
Li Sheng, who was in Hangzhou, planned to take pictures of this batch of wood and other things on this day.
After drinking together, Li Er guessed that Li Sheng might have some alternative plan, but he didn't expect that he had wood inventory on hand.
After the banquet at noon ended, Li Sheng had some urgent matters at hand, so he asked Wu Meiniang to take Li Er and others to visit.
Wu Meiniang and Li Sheng are different after all.
Although she learned a lot of financial knowledge from Li Sheng, as well as various interfaces commonly used in modern enterprises - such as Mr. Li, assistant, Xiao Zhang, front desk, supply chain...
But in the final analysis, he still belongs to the same era as Li Er.
Observing his words and expressions, he also saw Li Er, and this lady... Or rather, especially this lady.
These two people seem to have extraordinary bearings at first sight.
The few at the back, whom the young master calls Lao Wei, Lao Fang, and Lao Du, speak and smile in a controlled manner, and they are obviously not ordinary people.
In this case……
Wu Meiniang guessed that this might be the young master's mother-in-law's family...
Not the natal family in the village over in Youzhou, but... the place where the young master learned this magical skill, that is, the young master’s sect!
How else to explain it? Although the young master has been ordered by the imperial court, there is no doubt that this guy has the temperament of a wandering wild crane. He can do everything, but it is obvious to the naked eye that he has almost no enthusiasm. He only has enthusiasm for various strange objects and magic arts.
Since the young master has no connections in the court, he probably learned this skill in the wild.
Look at these guys, one is named Li, the other is named Wei...
Isn't this a table at Tiance Mansion that can be gathered every minute? They all obviously come from extraordinary backgrounds.
Therefore, Wu Meiniang also showed the unique business spirit of a business person, and was particularly warm and friendly to everyone. The tea was all of the highest quality, and the kind that the young master himself had to make in his own private room...
However, Li Er and others enjoyed some after-dinner refreshments, and then they couldn't help but be curious.
first of all……
Li Er was a little surprised. This auction house...
"Girl, what are you doing, Master?"
"Oh, Mr. Master has just customized a batch of parts. Now go to the steel factory for inspection. If they are not qualified, they can be improved in time."
After a pause, Wu Meiniang was afraid that this group of people would have any misunderstanding with the young master, and then said, "In the entire supply chain, after the goods in all links are produced, the downstream must rush to check and accept them as soon as possible. This is the rule of our industrial zone.
To improve efficiency.”
When Wu Meiniang said this, she subconsciously prepared herself.
Next, most of these people will ask about "downstream" and "supply chain"...
What do these words mean?
I can just explain it to them. Firstly, according to the young master’s advice, we need to establish a professional image in front of customers. Secondly, it can be considered as a topic and will not be left in the dark...
But what surprised us was that Li Er and others nodded one after another.
He didn't even ask any more questions.
And after Wu Meiniang observed it, she was even more surprised to find...
This group of people actually understood several new words they said!...
This made Wu Meiniang very surprised, even shocked.
You must know that Gongzi's set of techniques cover everything from astronomy and geography to humanities and politics.
And the words "supply chain" and "downstream" are exactly what Young Master said in "Economics"!
These people...
Do you even know this?
Wu Meiniang didn't understand this posture.
But she was shocked!
This time, Queen Changsun took even more careful care of her.
But at this time, Li Er asked about the auction house.
Although I am going to see it tonight, I am really looking forward to it.
However, it was precisely because of the expectation that I couldn't even hold it back, and I was extremely curious about these three words of "bundling wealth", so I asked.
"By the way, girl...oh no, it's Vice President Wu. The auction house Shenghou seems to be very famous."
"I wonder what is so powerful about this auction house that it can amass so much money?"
The word "gathering" was not a good word in ancient times.
after all……
At the end of every dynasty, when there were quarrels in the court, finances were insufficient and the treasury was empty.
There is no money for fighting wars, but there is no money for disaster relief...
At this time, the word "gathering" would always be mentioned, especially by the emperor, who almost never left his mouth.
No matter how good these two words are, they are both curse words.
After saying this, Li Er also cursed himself secretly, why did he talk so freely as soon as he left the palace?
But what he didn't expect was...
This term is quietly changing in Hangzhou today.
But Wu Meiniang smiled and said respectfully, "Master Li has asked the key point. This is how the auction house works..."
Soon, Wu Meiniang also explained the auction house's business model.
This is similar to what Li Er heard in front of Li Sheng.
But the difference is that Li Er is puzzled, "It sounds like the profits are still average..."
It doesn't look like it can raise hundreds of thousands of coins, although this is already a fact.
